I'm finally ready to order mine, (hey IceBluesCat you beat me to it! We can park together and endure the teasing from the club next time GRIN) I'm going to order "thinking" because it seems to fit Winnie's personality best. Good luck on the cat paws, that is going to be so awesome!

Hey IceBluesCat, here's a preview of your design. Had to create a new design from scratch. Let me know if this one will work for you and I'll get it going!

Yes, it will look even better on the car, at SoCal Mini Maniac club events!!!

I could only look at this on my smart phone at work, but now I'm looking at it online and, again, it is just gorgeous! I'm glad that Mini Mania is also selling your designs, but one of a kind is wayyy better IMNSHO!!

Now I get to wait for the shade and I'm still waiting on the DMV notification on my ICE BLUZ plate.

Thanks for the suggestion on the UK design site, I got some good ideas. Joanie, how is the design company you used for Winnie in San Diego? I looked at their site this morning and they looked like they could do advertising wraps?

Cute, Joanie!

Four of the Sin City MINI Club attended our Regional get-together yesterday and one of the guys had your EyeShades on his MINI, so I could see it up close and personal. Very nice, I'm going to love when mine comes in. Printed the design out and took it to "show off" of course.

Hope it's here in time for MOAT (***** of All Twisties) run May 12th!!

Wow... those custom ones are cool. Now you got me wondering about something to incorporate the Taz theme I'm doing with my car.

IceBluesCat's Purrsonality revealed!

Thanks for the fabulous EyeShade! We haven't hit 100-degrees yet, but that's "yet!" The shade it's built on is nice and thick and well insulated against those scorching hot high desert days.

Right in time for MOAT this weekend, eh Joanie? Winnie the MINI looks simply "smashing!" as well.

Now if my purrsonalized license plate would only come in ....

Dittin, can you post up a "CHECKERED" like this,



but with "ICE BLUE EYES" so I can see what it looks like for Black Ice?

Thanks.
